When a previous version driver is installed on your PC, the driver name Silicon Laboratories CP210x USB to UART Bridge (Driver Removal) is displayed on the Control Panel screen, as shown below. In this case, uninstall it before installing this driver. If the earlier version Windows Driver Package - Silicon Laboratories Inc. (silabser) Ports is installed, uninstall it manually before installing the latest driver. See Uninstalling the driver on page 12 for details. After installation Uninstalling the USB driver You cannot uninstall the USB driver for each individual unit. After uninstalling the USB driver, none of the radios that require this driver can be operated with the PC. When another radio is connected The COM port number is automatically added after turning ON the radio s power. About compatible radios The radios that require this driver are shown on the Icom website. (Windows 10 screen is shown.) Before connecting to a PC The USB driver is not supported by the automatic recognition system, so NEVER connect the USB cable between the radio and the PC until AFTER the USB driver has been installed. See Driver installation on page 3 for details. Once the driver is installed, a PC software can be used by just connecting the USB cable. Important Depending on your PC performance (OS, environment, and so on), the USB audio may be interrupted, or a control by the PC software may get delayed. If the CPU has a heavy load, the USB audio is easily interrupted. The settings of the installed audio player may be changed after connecting the radio to the PC. Icom is not responsible for improper operation when connecting the radio and the PC through a USB hub. 2
